    Have just been street viewing some parts of the old Cambrian Line to Oswestry and noticed some mystery narrow gauge equipment in Morda, Oswerty. Any idea what it is?

    I've never found out much, but here are some more photos here https://micktick.smugmug.com/Trains/Oswestry-District-Narrow-Gauge/i-hv2skGJ

    Weston is where the Cambrian Heritage railway are aiming for as the first stage of their push south from Oswestry - the transhipment shed is part of their property.

    That might explain why so little seems to be said about the set up at Weston/Morda!

    No I do not currently volunteer

    Oswestry & District Narrow Gauge Railway Society. Went there on a BLS visit a year or two ago. Wonderful set up and very friendly people.
